We knew Rufus back just before and during this song being a hit.
They were really tight live. All very professional.
This was early to mid 70s so they were all still quite young, but pros. When we first met them they were only together around a year.
We had recurring backstage passes and they came to the shows once or twice a year for at least 4 years.
Very nice bunch of people.
